Macbook Pro 2015 cannot find bluetooth devices, but can be found on other devices...

Hi everyone,


I'm currently facing the problem that the bluetooth on my 2015 Macbook Pro isn't able to find any bluetooth devices. The strange thing is that I can connect to my Macbook if I connect to it from another device. The problem it gives me is that I can't connect to my bluetooth earphones and use Handoff. If I connect to my Macbook with my iPhone, I am able to use Handoff.


I am on Catalina 10.15.7.


The things I have tried so far:

-Reset bluetooth module

-Deleted the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file

-Reset SMC

-Reset Pram/NVram

-Turned bluetooth off and on

-Turned wifi off and on, also tried connecting to both 2.4ghz and 5ghz network


I look forward to hearing your thoughts.


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
